Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of A+. This is a notably better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also awarded this facility a middle of the road score in the category of short-term care, where it received a C. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. Our nursing rating is based on a handful of datapoints, but the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we analyzed was long-term care, which was this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in that area. Facilities that don't score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated only 90.03436 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
